Tips to skip that parking ticket while on campus 🅿️
Posted on Monday, January 15th, 2024
Parking Tickets: You hate getting them – we hate writing them. Let’s work together to avoid parking tickets on Campus altogether.
1. Ensure you have entered your vehicle details, especially your licence plate, correctly
Incorrect licence plates being entered into our system is a major reason tickets are issued because if we do not have the correct plate, we cannot confirm your payment. Please double-check in Honk Mobile when purchasing hourly and daily rates before you confirm your payment. If you have trouble remembering your licence plate, take a photo to refer to when purchasing parking to verify accuracy.
If you are a monthly or annual permit holder, please login to https://parkingservices.algonquincollege.com/ and click on “Vehicles” to review and make sure your plates are accurate and up-to-date.
2. Ensure you are parking in the correct lot
Whether you have an annual permit, MultiPacks, daily rates, or monthly permits, all parking payment is assigned to a designated lot. Please park in the lot you have purchased for and miss that ticket completely. Check out our Algonquin College Parking Map to help find your spot.
3. Purchase a permit for the correct timeframe
Errors when purchasing parking for daily rates or monthly passes can still lead to receiving tickets. Double-check the timeframe you have purchased to ensure accuracy. If you are using the HonkMobile app, you can add additional time directly from your phone.
4. Have two cars? Add an extra vehicle to your permit at no additional cost
If you have two cars, or are driving a temporary vehicle, you can these extra vehicles to your existing permit through the parking portal at no extra cost. This feature is great for those with multiple cars and may not always bring the same vehicle to campus. If both vehicles are present on campus at the same time, however, you will need to purchase an additional daily rate for the second vehicle.
